Victims Names
It can often be difficult for people attending local commemorative events to comprehend the huge numbers of people killed during the Holocaust and subsequent genocides. Some event organisers have found it effective to read the names of victims, others have given everyone attending their event the name of one victim to concentrate on. Both methods are intended to emphasise the individual human cost of genocide rather than concentrating on huge, often inconceivable numbers.
